Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer.
We got a series of big storms during the past week, resulting in about 18″ of snow up at my house. My car was blocked in all week because of the dreaded berm! But we finally had someone come and plow our driveway. Now our town is inundated with “snow players,” lol, all parking illegally and making it impossible to go anywhere. At least temps are going up next week so the snow should melt fairly quickly.
Upcoming reads & reviews:
I pushed hard last week and got up three reviews, and I’m hoping to get two more up by the end of the month. I’m currently reading Dead First, and it’s very unusual! I’m not sure where it’s going, but I’m excited to find out. I’ve also started making my way through The Rise, which is a purchase. I adore Alan Baxter’s Tales from the Gulp, and this is five more creepy tales set in the fictional Australian town of Gulpepper. Next, I will probably pick up one of my last February releases, The Red Winter, and after that I will most likely dive into my March books, starting with Nobody’s Baby.
Other posts this week:
It’s almost the end of the month, which means I have a few “end of the month” posts coming up! On Wednesday, check out Future Fiction as usual; Friday I’ll share my February book haul; and Saturday is my February Reading Wrap-Up post. The other days are reserved for reviews if I can get my act together:-)
In case you missed:

I like the theory of so much snow, but I bet it’s just an annoyance most of the time when it’s common for you and you get so much!
Ahhh, Nobody’s Baby — I wish I had a review copy! I have autoapproval from Tor on Netgalley, but it doesn’t seem to have ever popped up there. I’ll have to preorder it.
Just checked NetGalley and Nobody’s Baby is there, go grab it!
All that snow we got has finally all melted since it got up into the 50s and 60s this earlier this week. It’s right back down to the 20s and 30s now though.
The weather keeps going up and down here too, but I’m hoping all the snow melts soon. I’m over it!
Wow, the snow! If we would get that much in Belgium the whole country would shut down I think. At least Badger seems to love it! 😀
LOL. Yes, Badger is at home in the snow, he just loves the cold. It’s hard for him during the summer.
Badger always looks cool. That’s alot of snow, I hope it melts soon. We’re having a blizzard coming through today into tomorrow here. I am looking forward to the spring!
Thank you! Stay safe in the blizzard!
I saw on the news about California getting a bunch of snow and I wondered if it was where you lived, and I guess it was! That is a LOT of snow! I’m guessing Badger doesn’t mind it? I do always hate how people use snow as an excuse to park worse than normal, lol. Here’s hoping you get a lot of that snow melted this week and have a good week as well!
Thanks Lisa! Badger loves the snow, and he loves the water too.
So glad to see Badger enjoying the snow, someone has to. It’s pretty but I think I’m done with winter and it’s only February. Good thing I’m not in Minnesota anymore. We got that kind of snow in April even.
It is pretty when you’re inside and don’t have to go anywhere. I’m also looking forward to Spring!
So much snow! I was just reading about how much bother the “snow players” are in some areas of California — sorry you’re dealing with that! Hope you have a great week!
The snow players are extra annoying today, not sure why, lol.
Oh wow that’s a lot of snow Tammy! I hope you were able to work from home!
I always work from home (I only go into the office about six times a year!), I’m very lucky!
Did Badger enjoy the snow? My oversized pup LOVES it!
Yes, he loves the snow! I think big dogs love it, and little dogs are probably worried about getting lost in it, lol.
That’s some serious snow! I’m sure Badger loved it at least…
Badger LOVES the snow! And the cold in general. He could lie out in the snow all day and not feel the cold at all, lol.
I’m excited to read your review of “Red Winter”!
It’s snowing again where I live. It’s the 2nd blizzard of the season after 15 years.
I heard about the blizzards coming, stay safe!
That amount of snow always looks so beautiful as it’s falling and just freshly fallen, but it can certainly make getting around difficult. Ours has now completely melted except for the remains of piles here and there. But right now the falling rain is beginning to show a few snowflakes here and there and it’s supposed to completely transition to all snow as night falls. Granted, we’re only supposed to get 1-3 inches, not 18+! 🙂
You’ll probably wake up to snow!
That’s a lot of snow! We’re getting some snow right now, but it won’t be 18”, maybe 6 or 7 tops. It looks pretty outside right now!
I like the idea of 6″ of snow much better!
We were watching the Olympic Highlights last night and my son asked some questions about the biathlon event so I looked them up and learnt that the first time the sport was introduced to the Winter Olympics was at the 1964 games held in California. Both he and my husband were surprised it snowed in California but I knew it did from your posts, LOL.
Anyway I hope the temps warm up for you
Wishing you a great reading week
Oh wow, now I need to look up what city in California those games were held! Most of California is desert, lol. Just the mountain areas get snow. I hope you have a great week too:-)
Oh my giddy aunt look at all that snow. I bet Badger loved it.
All the best with your reading and reviewing plans this week. I’m hoping to post two reviews at least.
Lynn 😀
Yes, he was a happy pup:-)
Glad you enjoyed Nowhere Burning. Can’t wait to get to that one. Curious about Find Me Where It Ends. I am already behind on Cassandra Khaw books. Hope you have a great week ahead!
Thanks Alicia, you too!
Oh wow, that’s a lot of snow!!
It’s too much for me!
That is a ton of snow! I’m a little jealous…though not about the having to plow and shovel it part. . ;D
I love being inside and looking out the window at it, lol.
Blimey – what a lot of snow! And thank goodness you have it and I don’t!! I love how it looks as it falls and then begin hating it very soon after. Especially as it turns to mucky, slippery slush here that hangs about and looks awful and makes it hazardous to go anywhere. Hoping the coming week sees it gone, Tammy.
I know how much you hate snow Sarah!
That is A LOT of snow! I am so, so ready for summer and warmer weather. It’s a good thing you’ve got a lot of books to keep you entertained. 🙂
I’m ready too! Every day a little more snow melts:-)
Badger looks like he’s enjoying the snow!
He loves it!
That is a lot of snow. Does Badger love playing in it? My boys love fluffy snow but are not a fan of icy, crunchy snow which is what we last had. I’m ready for summer. Looking forward to your reviews!
Yes he loves it! He doesn’t really care what type of snow, he’ll play in anything:-)
Looks like both coasts got clobbered this past week with snow! I am so done with winter, lol. At least Badger looks like he’s having a blast 🙂
Me too, bring on Spring!
